My bad. Don't know what I was thinking.

Go to Directed Electronic's website and look up both a 97 and 98 Chevy truck. See which one needs a module. Here's the link.

Punch in the vehicle info on the home page.

Next go to their tech page and look up the schematics for each vehicle and see which one describes using an interface and which one doesn't.
Here's the link for that one if you can't find it. https://www.directechs.com/Default.aspx

I'm out.....

Joe you need to take that thing to my buddy In Brookfield for a nice Magnaflow exhaust, and then some 35% tint:evilb:

You have a buddy that owns a exhaust shop? Plan on ordering the pre-cut tint on ebay for the front windows. did that on my last truck, cant beat it for like 12 bucks pre cut for you!

1997 Chevy/GMC trucks don't need transponder bypass and have nothing for resistors.... Like Buck said, 1998 and up. GM did use the resistors but not on the trucks. Most cars did use them.

I'm a dealer for Clifford and Avital, and I sell a ton of the Avital 4103's for a basic keyless entry/remote start. My price is $200 installed, or add $75 if an interface module is needed - I use Idatalink for those.

If you can find a good installer that's reasonable on price, it's worth the extra money to not have to mess with it and to have a warranty. Make sure and have a ride to take you home, there's no reason to sit around and wait.

On the other hand, if you MUST do it yourself, make sure and plan it out first. The problem with installing one of these is that if you don't have something right, or something goes wrong, you don't know how to troubleshoot it and figure out the problem.

And I want to re-iterate what Buck said, don't buy a damn Bulldog. I don't care if a customer pays triple, I won't install it in my shop.

Thank you sir. I appreciate that. Knew it, but its obvious he had no intention of listening. I'm also guessing he missed the sarcasm in my last post on this thread.

I do this for a living, not a hobby. I would not reply I'd I didn't know.

Been doing this for 15 years and I've NEVER seen a 97 that needed a module.

Cool.

The security light has zero bearing on whether or not it has a passlock system in it.

The 95 I owned had a security light too.

I've done several of these and never needed anything. AND just to make sure, I checked all of the places that I get info from.

Directechs
xpresskit.com
Idatalink.com
the12volt.com

None of them say that a resistor is required, which backs up what I say. Here's a link to the12volt site if you want to check for yourself: http://www.the12volt.com/installbay/...etail/478.html

If not, go get mad or be an a$$hole somewhere else. I've installed these for 18 years. If you don't want to take my word for it, find someone else to offer free tech support.
